This is the large print edition and book 5 of the DS Henry Stafford Mystery series. When a body turns up beside the tracks in rural Winchester, Detective Sergeant Henry Stafford braces for another long weekend cut short.

As Stafford, Detective Constable Randy Travers, and rookie Margaret Fenshaw follow the evidence, they uncover connections reaching from a Montreal tavern to a small-town shed-and to a man who appears alive but claims to remember nothing. What begins as a straightforward investigation turns into a puzzle of mistaken identity, fractured families, and lost time. Between shifting truths and fragile loyalties, Stafford must separate illusion from reality before tragedy repeats itself.Vagabond Illusion is Book 5 in the DS Henry Stafford Mystery series-a sharp, character-driven police procedural blending small-town humour, human drama, and the quiet complexities of life and loss in 1980s Ontario.
